So, I'm back into the flying biz... which is nice. Flying biz isn't as fun as I remember it. Hmm... I'm totally a spoilt brat when it comes to being employed, I am incredibly lucky to have a job where I go flying... but hey, I still think 'meh'. I'm not sure this is the job for me anymore. We'll see. I'm not going to do anything as drastic as quit ( Read more... )

So journal, lets have another brain dump. This time I hope I don't come across as someone with a pile of #firstworldproblems.

So I last wrote here back in July 2010, some 2 years ago. I guess I need the therapy of a journal sporadically at best, and I am hindered by my own inability to wear my emotions or bare thoughts on my sleeve. And as I ( Read more... )

 Dear LJ,

My oh my, I am a bad LJ-er... oh well. Either that means I don't have enough of a life to document it or I am so busy living the life that I don't have the time to document it.... hmm.... I hope it's somewhere in between!

So, last time I posted it was December 2008, and much has happened since then. At that time I was living in London ( Read more... )

26?? Bollox! 1st 5lbs overweight for my BMI?! Eek! And what will I be like after Christmas? I am an umpa-loompa (without the hair... or skin... or singing ability... or stunted growth... so not much like an umpa-loompa at all...).

D'oh!

It has been AGES since the last time I topped up on LJ credits... so here I am with my twice annual LJ update.

So, since I last updated, here is what has happened:

a) I have completed Officer training. BRNC is in my past (woohoo!) Although, I will be revisiting the old place just before Christmas for the Dartmouth Ball with all my WAFU buddies. ( Read more... )

How long has it been since my last post? Too long. How many times have I needed to post but not really had the time or the patience to actually sit down and write? Too many. Have I now forgotten or simply cannot recall the majority of the things I want to write? Yes!

So I am still at Dartmouth, but am about to undertake the big finale exam/ exercise ( Read more... )

I last wrote in here 5 months ago.

5 months where so much in my life has changed! As you can see below, my last post was regarding Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I had just read it and was deeply disappointed by it (I am going to re-read it so that I can see if it was me missing out all the good bits by mistake).

At the time of reading I had ( Read more... )

I finished reading the Deathly Hallows last night. I cried so much reading those last chapters. I know how people feel about spoilers so I will stop in my tracks, but this evening I will recount my thoughts. In general though I thought it was a good book, but in many ways I wanted more!

In readiness of the impending final installment of the Harry Potter series, I have just re-read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I felt that it was the most logical thing to do as I will be able to watch the 1st 5 books on film (oooh, I can hear the fans hissing at me from here!) come July 12th.

I just wanted to put down some points and ( Read more... )
